This week in Idiotic Things I’ve Overheard, “Colin Kapernick just started all of this because he was about to lose his job, and now he really has no job!” Idiotic.

I think it’s interesting when people marry someone who looks a lot like them in very specific ways. That’s all.

It was my mom’s birthday on Wednesday, and we are celebrating her birthday along with my sister’s and grandmother’s tomorrow in a big fall birthday shindig. We have a big family and gathering for individual birthdays was getting a little overwhelming, so now we have a few bigger celebrations during the year and I love it so much. My mom, for her part, has to clean her own house for her own damn birthday after watching my child for two days because that’s the kind of person she is. Happy Birthday isn’t nearly enough, but let it be known that my mother is one of the most wonderful people I know, and we are all so lucky that she’s our Mama.

Other than celebrating amazing family members! What does your weekend look like? We have some friends in town, our favorite local festival is happening downtown all weekend, and I’m teaching some yoga. It might cool down to below ninety effing degrees, and anytime it’s sunny I want to be outside. Have a great one!
